Forum

In the past, people have often requested new features in the forums. Never, ever have I seen a reply to such requests from the developer. Therefore my question is now: Is this the right place to post 'Feature requests' ? Or is one always supposed to contact the developer directly? In case this quest...

Under Insert > Note > Edit Note Attributes… > General Options there is a "Highlight notes on screen" option. Enabling this option will show the reference marker on screen in pale purple color. This color is so soft that it's hardly distinguishable on the screen, which is bad when you are d...

Hello my dear Paul, Are you becoming old and forgetful like me? I saw you elaborate on this topic in 2011 and provide several work-arounds … which all did not work, of course, because, as far as I know, this much-needed feature is simply still not available in Mellel. :–(( http://forum.mellel.com/vi...

I’m using the Mellel version on the iPad Pro.

Oh sorry, I didn't know that. I don't have an iPad myself, so just ignore my comments.
Good luck.

To give Eyal a clear idea of what you want, you should be a bit more specific. How exactly do you want this feature to look like? Like the Document Manager in Nisus Writer Pro? (1) Should the folders be organized hierarchically? And be searchable? (2) How exactly would you like to organize your Mell...

Hello Maximus,

I tried both solutions and they both work well.

I'm glad to hear that the problem has been resolved.

All the best to you…

Perhaps the problem is applying a list style and having the left margin shift. Oh, I didn't think of that. You may be right. But in that case I think Giovanni should have confirmed that by now, but he hasn't. He hasn't also responded to the suggestion regarding 'floating in frame', so he's obviousl...

Regarding "Mellel is a word processor and not an image editor", I can partially agree. Just a suggestion: have you tried to open the lock and use "Float in frame", then close the edit-window and press the Option key while you drag the image content around in the frame? This shou...

Continuation… … Here is Solution TWO (for inline citations) [1] In Bookends, go to Formats Manager [2] Choose " Archival Source " from the Type menu. Don't forget to do this. This is important. Make sure you are not accidentally changing other Types, such as 'Book'. [3] Enter "$*SOUR...

Hello Maximus, After reading your post here I thought I had found a good solution for you. Then I read your post on the Bookends forum which is somewhat different. It seems you need not only the *bibliography* to be sorted in a specific way (which isn't a problem) but the *endnotes* should also be s...

Dear Giovanni, Mellel is a word processor and not an image editor. Cannot export images […] this also is most difficult to accept, expecially for existing documents. What's wrong with copy and paste? It's the easiest, fastest and most intuitive way. Cannot have a style with bullets, always have to a...

my references are not recognized par Mellel I guess it's because you forgot to convert the text to citations: Edit > Bibliography > Convert Text to Citations… Here is a step by step instruction of the whole process. 1. Go to Bookends Preferences and choose Scrivener as Word processor. 2. Write, com...

Have you tried to insert a black (or dark) page background in the Page palette and use it with white characters from the character attributes pane?

am missing the step that associates an AT with a paragraph and character style. After you have opened Configure Auto-Titles > Main Format and entered your element or elements, you need to select the element(s) of the heading and then, while they are selected, double-click on the associated paragrap...

Hello Etienne, If we refer to menu commands, we should always write their names exactly as they appear in (the English version of) Mellel, including capital letters and quotes, if that's applicable. That's helpful when other forum members try to reproduce issues. -in edit styles –> edit page styles ...
